SIG SAUER enthusiasts are legion. I don’t count myself amongst their number. SIG’s handguns are reliable, accurate and only slightly harder to look at than Makenzie Leigh. But I don’t get on with their...

Sig Sauer developed the MCX rifle for America's special forces. Their goal: a lightweight firearm that's as quiet as an MP5, as deadly as an AK-47, and more modular than anything ever designed. Originally chambered...

Up to now, I have avoided writing about politics in our Guns for Beginners Series. And I may pull or rename this post to maintain this editorial distance from political considerations. But a twenty-something contemplating buying a...

I recently came across an article at Water n' Woods called The Overall Best Handgun For Women. The post claims that a Smith & Wesson .38 special snub nose revolver is the best gun for women. Wow....
